We now live in a data-driven society, and that’s probably a good thing. Data is the ultimate gut-check, the final arbiter of our best guesses. But interacting with data can be exceedingly complicated—and often slow. 

Kendall Clark, the founder and CEO of Stardog, has developed a faster, more efficient technology that allows you to query data directly, without any copying or migrating. He calls it “data fabric,” and claims it’s the only solution of its kind.

The applications are wide ranging, and in use by eBay, NASA, Bosch, and Cisco.
